Gooding’s coworker John Lee, a former e-cig user, told CNN that the device had been customized.

“I’ve never seen one that has so much power, it’s aftermarket customized so you can change the voltage for high performances,” he said.

No one else was injured in the incident.

CNN has cited other cases of e-cig explosions including another one in NYC where one blew up a young man’s face, knocking out teeth, ripping a hole in his tongue and leaving his hands covered in burns.

According to Rubenstein, Gooding will be pursuing legal action against the manufacturer.
